User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.11)

New home directories created with useradd(8) have a world-readable mode of
rwxr-xr-x by default.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. useradd -mk /var/lib/empty foo
2. ls -dl /home/foo
Actual Results:  
Created with rwxr-xr-x/0755.

rwxr-xr-x 1 foo  users    4096 Jul 2 03:32  foo

Expected Results:  
Create it with at most --x--x/0011 for group/other.

rwx--x--x 1 foo  users    4096 Jul 2 03:32  foo

I may have seen a config settings for the default umask somewhere, but cannot
remember where.

*Nevertheless*, I think new home dirs should default to not being readable by
everyone.
